“And this is eternal life, that they many know Thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent.”  John 17:3

Eternal Life – This is such an odd thing for Jesus to say.  It won’t seem odd to many of us because we have heard it so often as to make it passé.  But take a slower look.

The Asia Pacific Consultation On Discipleship [APCOD; pronounced A-P-COD] is a life-transforming vision that brings to focus the urgent need for authentic Christian discipleship and biblical disciple-making in the Church of Jesus Christ.

At the heart of the calling is the passion for every member in the Body of Christ in APCOD logoevery nation of the Asia-Pacific region to seek personal transformation in the Lord Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit, thereby impacting family, church and society through changed hearts with changed lives and renewed minds focused on bearing fruit to God.

Recognized as a major step forward in the consolidation of Christianity in the Asia-Pacific region, APCOD reaffirms the crucial need for a fresh hearing and understanding of the historic reality of the man Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, in His Jewish setting; a renewed consciousness of the historic Hebraic roots of Biblical discipleship coupled with the reinvigoration of a thinking Christian mind that is in total obedience to follow Christ and to love and serve God only.

Days of Noah

Every week, we will feature a Bible word study from Professor Skip Moen's Today's Word. Start understanding scripture from its Hebraic roots and view God's Word in a way you never have before.

In the Days of Noah

Prof. Skip Moen, D.Phil.

And just as it happened in the days of Noah, so it shall be also in the days of the Son of Man Luke 17:26.

Days of Noah – In the days of Noah, people assumed life would continue as usual. They were unprepared for the shock of God’s verdict. Jesus tells us that they ate, drank and married. Their lives consisted in propagating of the species. Focused on their physical needs, they didn’t see the end coming. Tais hemerais tou Noe seemed quite ordinary – until the Flood.

Most Christians identify celebrating Passover as Jewish or an Old Testament holiday that doesn't need to be observed anymore.  They question its relevance since Jesus has risen. When one studies Passover in-depth, however, along with all the other biblical Spring and Fall festivals that Jesus observed while on earth, one begins to realize why He admonished us to as well.  They all have great meaning and not only help us to understand the profound meaning of His nature and purpose of His First Coming, but even more -- Second Coming.

As Chinese Christians start to study the Bible from a Hebraic perspective, they see Jesus, the Messiah, in the OT and how everything God said and did in the OT point to their fulfillment (not abolishment) in the NT.  Chinese believers are beginning to experience that mindset of their One true God through the faithful observation and participation of moedim (special appointed times) in the Bible.

China Map - East Gates International

China

In partnership with our faithful donors and other ministries, God has seen fit to use our limited staff and funds to reach every province in China with Bibles, Christian literature, discipleship training, elderly homes and resources to build new churches and meeting points.

One In A Billion

In God’s economy, you have infinite worth.  Millions of Chinese now grasp this profound reality and they’ve been released to live out their new identity with growing faith and joy.  It doesn’t mean that life won’t have its challenges but when you know why you’ve been created, every day is a moment in eternity and it takes on far greater purpose and meaning.  So here, you’re going to see why you have invaluable worth and the amazing transformations in Chinese peoples’ lives.  We welcome any insights or contributions you have in this area too!  This week, see how although you may feel “tiny” in the world’s eyes, you’re “mighty” from God’s perspective and that’s what counts.

The most significant words in Chinese all have deep meaning, much like in Hebrew.

Insights between Chinese & Hebraic Culture

Born to Pray

Genesis 2:7

“Then the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed in to his nostrils the breath or spirit of life; and man became a living being.”

Hebraic scholars say the essence of the Hebrew written in this passage implies that when the Lord God created man (Heb. adam = human being) from the dust of the earth, and breathed into the human being the breath or spirit of life, not only did He fill us with pure oxygen but more importantly, his divine intellect.

Therefore, through the “breath of life” came the spiritual capacity to develop an intimate relationship with God through prayer.  Have you ever thought about the fact that there is no other creature on the face on earth that has the ability or desire to pray except human beings?
